I Saw Three Ships (Or at Least I think I Did)
|
|
Lyrics: Alun Tudor Jones. Music: William Sandys.

I saw three ships come sailing in,
Come sailing in, come sailing in.
I saw three ships come sailing in,
On Tuesday all in the morning.
And what was in those ships all three,
Ships all three, ships all three,
And what was in those ships all three,
On Tuesday all in the morning.
Ten gallons of Bass and all for me,
All for me, all for me.
Ten gallons of Bass and all for me,
And p***ed by ten in the morning.
I saw a mermaid who I kissed,
Who I kissed, who I kissed.
I saw a mermaid who I kissed,
At half-past-ten in the morning.
I called the Coastguard, reversed the charge,
Reversed the charge, reversed the charge.
"You silly bu**er, it's a mirage!",
And not quite eleven in the morning.
I waded out to Ilfracombe,
To Ilfracombe, to Ilfracombe.
Don't worry boys, I'll be back soon,
At eleven o'clock in the morning.
Now back to "The Bells" and its been nice,
Its been nice, Its been nice.
I'll tell the tale once or twice,
Till twelve o'clock in the evening.
